I'm not really sure that this will be that bad in regards to bunker rushes. If you think about it having an SCV in the bunker means that that's one less marine that can get in and the SCV isn't repairing the bunker, so technically the bunker is actually easier to take down for the being. If someone knows what their doing they may be able to get the timings down to have this extend the bunker rush but for the general players I doubt this will actually come into play.

The scv repairing in the medivac was proven to be true by HuskyStarcraft.

There were threads complaining about how it costs normal minerals amount now. It has always worked, but before a 1.3 or 1.2 or something it used to cost something like quad the resources to repair inside a bunker or inside a medivac. I honestly do this all the time in 3 hellion drop with 2 scvs, which essentially lets me endlessly drop harass by letting the scvs repair the hellions inside the medivac or i can just drop the scvs to repair the medivac if it's too damaged.

And no, this probably won't be patched because blizzard took the obligation to go ahead and make it normal cost so if they decided to buff it, why would they remove it?

+ Show Spoiler +
totally didn't read op, whatever haha


If this is true, then blizzard intentionally put it into the game... not sure why they would "patch" it back down to normal minerals though. Nice find, OP !

No. You cannot repair the holder of the units from inside. Blizzard fixed that since you could repair the bunker from inside.

Huh, I did not know that, thank you for contributing OP.

I must admit, I do not understand comments equating this too SCV auto-repair in flight. That is a long known aspect of the game and thus far Blizzard has not seen the need to patch it or adjust it.

I find most amusing the comments insinuating that this trick will have an impact on the game or make Terran more effective cheesers. I will guarantee that this will never cause a single person a loss. If I am wrong I'll buy you ice cream.
I've got half a mind to hug each of you and see how you like it

Woah...my bunker rushes just got scary. <3 OP but I'd expect this is a bug. I have no problem with SCVs repairing say hellions in a medivac since they can do that outside the medivac as well, but self repair only inside a bunker is just bugged. Nether the less I shall abuse this.

Also I bet Blizzard are going to love you for finding this. They were just dying to find something to change/fix with the bunker!

Yes this works in a medivac as well, HuskyStarcraft made a neat little video of it.
if you put the Scv on auto repair with a hellion for example thats been damaged then the scv will repair it!
but i didn't know this happens in the bunker as well

you can place scv's with hellions in a medivac and they will repair the hellions

This is definitely a bug not a trick. Its pretty ridiculous to be honest I dont think scvs should repair themselves :/ repair bunker from within sure why not. Repair other SCVs by all means go ahead. Repair self.... not so cool This will definitely be patched.

(1) Repairing mech in medivacs
I believe this to be working as intended strictly because it just makes sense to me. The Medivac is a huge drop ship (cargo ship) there should be plenty of room and time for the SCVs to make on the fly repairs (no pun intended)

(2) Self-Repair in bunkers
This is almost certainly a bug and should be patched. Multiple SCVs repairing each other in a bunker? That makes perfect sense and should remain.

Whaaaaat?! So, to defend a 6 pool, 14 SCV's could be micro'd around a command center, going into its safe protection at low HP to repair?
